A Story Quote to Inspire You
“There once was a dress. One dress.
When it was new, it was gold and sparkly and shimmery
like the glow of certain stars on the darkest night.”
—L.L. Barkat
Magical Prompt 1
The Golden Dress begins with a description of how the dress looks, and this appearance suggests something about the dress’s character and (for the imaginative reader) possibly its deeper origin.
Why do you suppose the dress sparkles and shimmers like the glow of certain stars on the darkest night?
Write a story or a poem exploring why this dress (or any other fictional piece of clothing) might glow like certain stars on the darkest night.
